Maintaining A High Level Of Quality
RAKtherm maintains a comprehensive quality control system beginning from designing the required specifications, to control of incoming raw materials processing of the product, packing, storage, shipping to the customer, and finally continuous servicing and support to guarantee that complete total quality is achieved. This is accomplished parallel to the Quality Assurance Program with the objective to ensure that total quality, and not only localized quality is maintained as required. The overall quality system operated and documented by RAKtherm is implemented throughout the plant. The overall system has been designed to exceed requirements stated by national and international authorities and institutions. Regular checks are done by neutral bodies, to further eliminate any chance of quality deviation. This is yet another quality assurance for our customer. A well-designed manufacturing process includes establishing the required specifications, and strictly adhering to them throughout the manufacturing process. This is assured by
precise machinery, well trained staff, and continuously updated and modernized equipment. Ultrasonic measurement and in-process data recording on the production lines identify real-time changes in the process and assure that any deviations on the quality of the product to the set standard is avoided
